"I don't understand how Shannon constantly writes amazing books. I loved re-reading this book, although I did get annoyed with all the Sophitz moments, but thats only because I ship Sokeefe. I binged so much of this book because I'm trying to get to reading Stellarlune ASAP. Only the novella to go! Anyways, of course I can't end this review without Keefe quotes:<br/><br/>"Team Foster-Keefe is going to crush this." (Of course they are)<br/><br/>"I'm always here." (This is so freaking sweet of Keefe)<br/><br/>"Just like I'm pretty sure you're gonna have to get used to me calling you the Lovely Lady F." (I just like how Keefe is calling Sophie lovely)<br/><br/>"And I gotta say, you look awfully cute in a crown." (Sadly, Sophie is still oblivious to the OBVIOUS flirting)<br/><br/>"Biscuit to ease the pain." (First of all he called them biscuits, unlike Fitz who called them cookies which ummmm, their British Fitz so say biscuits. Second of all this made me laugh a little)<br/><br/>"I'm never stuck with you, Foster. Someday I'm going to make you see that." (Awww)<br/><br/>"I'm... really glad I met you, Sophie.""

"This is such an action-packed book with a fantastic story that just makes you want to read non-stop and leaves you asking for more. The character development throughout this series is absolutely amazing as you see people go from friends to enemies and enemies to friends. Sophie, the main character receives help from Bronte, a member of the Council, who seemed to hate her for the first half of the series saying, “She knew she was having a strange day when ending up in Bronte’s arms wasn’t even the weirdest thing that had happened”. This book shows Sophie move on from trying to fit into societal expectations to doing what she wants and believes is right with the support of her friends and family, especially when considering her bad match with Fitz saying, “anyone who was part of a bad match faced scorn for the rest of their lives”. It shows the characters mature and become more responsible and aware of their actions and the consequences of what they do, how they go from doing what they want without much thought and planning to actually sitting down and having meetings and planning with not only their friends and family but also the Black Swan asking them, “does this mean you have a plan?” showing that they are waiting for the Black Swans help and plan. I have really enjoyed this book for its amazing story and character development and I am looking forward to the next book in this series. And for those who haven’t read this book or series, I believe you should give it a try especially if you like fantasy books with action, powers, and a fantastic story.<br/>"

"It wasn't a bad book overall, but I'm beginning to realize just how much I've outgrown this series. When I was younger I loved it, but the language and the writing feels a lot younger, between the nicknames and jokes. I also have come to realize that KotLC is the only set of books that can make me attracted to toxic boys. <br/><br/>Ok so as to the actual book...<br/><br/>I feel like the plot is really getting somewhere now! Finding out about Sophie's mom, and learning about the Neverseen's real plan was cool. Also Lady Gisela's main plan. <br/><br/>I do appreciate that Keefe is getting older and more mature, but I also miss his jokes because this entire book feels a little sad Keefe vibes. <br/><br/>I love the final snippet from Tam's POV. I would love to see more of Tam. <br/><br/>Tam and Biana are my favorite characters now.<br/><br/>Fitz is high key pretty toxic in this book but I still like him because I realize that he's literally lived his entire life trying to be perfect and he loses it when he can't be. It's only getting worse though, not better - so I am looking forward to either character development or a villain arc (like Alvar is predicting) and I'm here for both. <br/><br/>I wish I saw more of Keefe and Fitz's best-friendship. As much as KotLC is a story of ship wars, I love good friendships and I need more. I'd also like to see more of Sophie and Biana's friendship, and more. All in all I want more platonic friendships. <br/><br/>Dex and Biana are so cute and I love it. <br/><br/>Ro is a very unprofessional bodyguard?<br/><br/>To me, the characters feel somewhat 2D. Their personalities feel a little stilted.<br/><br/>Finally - it was very dramatic. A lot of misunderstandings. If I were Sophie, I feel like I would understand because she's so stressed constantly. However, I do not understand why she is so angry at Oralie, or so desperate to figure out her parents. I also don't get why Fitz is so angry all the time, and the love triangle thing is clearly still going strong. That being said - as a reader it's very frustrating to read so many dramatic misunderstandings and constant angst."
